Welcome to our website
Headway UK the brain injury support charity has expanded its regional activity with a new group in Gateshead.

On Wednesday, September 13th 2006 a public meeting took place at Gateshead Civic Centre to look at services currently on offer and to encourage new members to join the brain injury support group
Headway groups can provide support, information and offer rehabilitation and leisure activities to brain injury survivors, their families, friends and carers.
The objectives of our charity are:
- to provide services and facilities calculated to rehabilitate and relieve from their disabilities persons who have suffered brain injuries and who reside in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and are receiving or have received medical treatment there
- to relieve the families of persons who have suffered a brain injury
- to encourage, provide and set up self-help groups to promote the Objectives
- to provide or arrange after-care for persons who have suffered a brain injury

July Social Meeting
Our next group meeting will be on Tuesday 7th July. After the success of our recent summer party we will be having a quiz and social evening this month at Gateshead Carers. We will also be hearing more about the national Headway "Way Ahead" training and networking weekend event from the representatives from our group who are registered to attend. There will be plenty of opportunity to catch up with friends, meet new people and to talk to others about your experiences.
One of our group members has kindly arranged for Headway Gateshead to have a fundraising day at ASDA in Stanley on Saturday 25th July so we will need lots of keen volunteers to pack bags and shake buckets! If you would like to help out for a few hours at what I am sure will be a really fun day could you please let us know.
We will not be holding a meeting in August for the holidays so our next meeting after the summer will be on Tuesday 1st September so please make a note of the date now in your diary.
